The hidden crypt was a tomb of quiet, a silence so deep it was broken only by the frantic, whispered words spilling from the jester's lips to the stone coffin.

A spasmodic smile tugged at his mouth as he mumbled something about the Listener, a hot, embarrassed flush creeping up his neck. So consumed was he that he failed to notice you's silhouette cutting through the shadows of the doorway, watching his private ritual unfold.
